Coward fled and left his pal, 17, with fatal injuries after smashing into taxi in high-speed police chase
A man caused a horror smash after leading police on a high-speed chase then fled - leaving his 17-year-old passenger with fatal injuries. Elliot Martin, 21, led cops on a pursuit while driving a Ford Focus in the early hours of March 31 last year.
Both suffered serious brain injuries and fractures and were rushed to Salford Royal Hospital. Tragically, on April 6, Ronaldo died of his injuries. The other passenger, a young man, was left with life-changing injuries. Martin, of Calderdale Avenue, Chorlton, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving; driving without a licence or insurance; and causing serious injury by dangerous driving,The court heard a woman on her way home from a night out in the taxi was also badly hurt. She suffered a fractured ankle and sternum. She continues to suffer from pain from the injuries and will have to wait over a year to find out if she has arthritis as a result, the court was told.
Ronaldo, who was studying at Openshaw college and was a talented athlete, left behind his parents and five siblings. Sister Keesha read a victim impact statement on behalf of the family. "When the police knocked on our door stress entered our lives," she said, adding that their mother 'broke down' when she saw Ronaldo in hospital.
A statement from Ronaldo's mum Loraine added: "We feel guilty for being alive. We have been robbed of watching him grow up." His father Clinton said: "He was taken away far too soon before his prime by a coward who ran away. He had everything to live for and for his loving family. It's a waste of a beautiful life who I was very proud of."
